Coconuts, I mean. "Cocnuts" just sounds smutty.

No no, lets grab Keggers’ cocnuts and force him to lead us to the coconuts. We won’t need to deploy the shrews in that case, and we can all be home for Christmas.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

Can we listen to 90s indie music the whole time though? That's all I'm worried about, none of your cocnuts and shrews malarkey.

Any 'Lither I find grabbing my cocnuts will either be found dead or making me breakfast in the morning!

So... what's with the italics tonight?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:23 / 11.02.04
I think it means they're whispering conspiratorially.
 
 
Mazarine
02:26 / 11.02.04
Oh. Well, at least now I know. Thanks.

I would just like to say that ginger and lemon tea is my new favourite thing... with chocolate to nibble on the side... Thank you for your attention.

Throw some whiskey and honey in there, and you've got the cure for 80% of non-lethal, non-STD ailments.

03:11 / 11.02.04
Wow, tasty and beneficial to slutting about! What a wonder!!! This will come in handy once I'm properly back to my deviant self...
 
 
the Fool
03:17 / 11.02.04
Wow, I'm also dslyexic (and most likely can't spell). I thought you said 'cure 80% non lethal STD's'. Hence my enthused reply. me dumby...

Whispering? No, no, no! Whatever gave you THAT idea?

That was, without exception, the most cringeworthy interview I've ever done. I think I want to either cry, or vomit.

Firstly it was a different person to the 1st interview. She kept going over the same question "why do you think you could do this job well?" and the real answer, of course, is that I dont know. Cause I've never done admin, organising stuff, working with computers, telesales, teleanything, and have no qualifications whatsoever to help me in these matters.
I sorta dodged the answer I suppose, non intentionally, by saying basically, "I think I could, because.... I like working in a busy environment, and like having something to do all the time" but she kept asking about all the finicky details of it. Being the entire nature of the job. COMPLETELY irrelevant.

At the beginning she'd offered me a cup of tea, and i'd said yes, and was produced with a tea-machine paper cup thing. At the end, she held out her hand for me to give her the cup to bin. I misunderstood and shook her hand.

<*cringe*

Better than the other way round, I suppose. Marginally.

Oh man! I just made the biggest barbe-slut of myself in Barbe-crush....and still haven't listed everbody!

G-Bop!: "why do you think you could do this job well?"

The answer: I think I could do this job well, because I am organized, detailed and enjoy maintaining an efficient and productive work enviroment.

Well, it is not the only answer but it works...it has worked for me at least. Oh, and do stress the word "enjoy".
 
 
gingerbop
14:33 / 11.02.04
I always say "enjoy" so often as to unveil that I am, infact, lying. As well as unorganised. I said I was. And I like to get things done as soon as I can. In fact, i am incapable of organising sex in a brothel, and rather than getting anything done immediately, well... I blame Lith.

I feel slight guilt on the barbecrush front. I purposely left out a lot of people, lest I make an enormous bareslag out of myself. But then these people may think I dont love them.

She said she'd call this afternoon, and the place shuts at 5. I am getting sweaty palms, even though I know the outcome. She's probably forgotten I was there at all.
 
 
Papess
15:11 / 11.02.04
G-Bop!, take the initiative and call them yourself. That shows your interest and eagerness....at least, that is the advice employment counsellors give here in North America. I am not sure if the structure is the same there, I know in the U.K, they can be a bit uptight about hierarchy. (1-800-howsmyspelling?).

Slag=Slut?

Oh. Me too!

Deva - do you work at Leeds Met or Uni of Leeds? If it's the later, I might have a look out for something you're teaching next year as an elective.

Uni - and that's such a nice thing to say! Bounce. I'm not sure how good a teacher I am, but at least I'm not transphobic. But I might not be teaching at the Uni of Leeds next year as with any luck I will have a proper job by then, somewhere else. (Watch this space )

And gingerbop, thank you for your supportive, if violent, words: nice to know it's not just me being "political correctness run maaaad!"

Alright, Keggers? How ya doin this lovely evening?

22:08 / 11.02.04
Smashing! Off from work (again!) due to the stomach flu and not wanting to infect others. Im spending tonight working on D!MIT and my tarot deck. Filled with a nice blush wine.
And you Stoat? How are you?

Did somebody mention shrews? Because, regrettably, the mere mention has sent the tiny things scattering, to regroup behind the sofa.

I attempt to charm them out with Pringles. Shrews love Pringles, almost as much as they love Beverly Hills 90210.

Ya know what May? I love those lil bastards too! Really I do. They're whats going to make me rich and famous. Or poor and unknown. Either way I'll make more.

Luke Perry or Jason Priestley? I only ask because Luke Perry’s appearance in Oz made me realise just how much I respect him as an artist.


Helloooooo Lith.

Should we start whispering again, Haus?

23:06 / 11.02.04
Luke Perry is also very good in Jeremiah. A good show by the creator of Babylon 5 (also a good show)

23:10 / 11.02.04
Stoatie- absolutely fucking not.
Not only did I not have a clue what you were both on about, but as it stands I have you two glued together in my brain. Any further linkages between the you, ie random italiced mutterances, further this bond and will put my brain on the highway to exploding.

I have the same like between May Tricks and Mazarine.

Yes, a little uptight May, and the office shut at 5. Didnt want to bother them when they may have still called. Then couldnt afterwards. Gym was fun tonight though. I re-confirmed my prowess on bars. I am Queen. I believe that status allows me to be an unemployed waster.
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:11 / 11.02.04
You start whispering and I start screaming!
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:16 / 11.02.04
Can I scream too? CAN I???

Ooops... sorry, shrews.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

Was Luke Perry in the Buffy movie?

Hullo all! I'm losing my very miiiiiind...

Heck, he’s even good in the Fifth Element, come to that. Or at least, he’s thin and well-dressed and I don’t ask much more of an actor. I like his new hairline, too. It’s a definite improvement, makes him look clever. I think I might buy a poster.

That whispering thing has now been dismissed as complete nonsense by both Maz and Bop. That’s quite enough for me. I beg forgiveness.

"I re-confirmed my prowess on bars" - Gb!
Hmm...and I plan on re-confirming my prowess in bars! Thhis is what happens whenever I get a wee bit of cash in my pockets. I want to spend the weekend drinking.
 
 
gingerbop
23:22 / 11.02.04
All is forgiven... so long as you make everyone else surrender! Oh. But you cant speak. You've been jinxed. Oh well.
Who was Luke Perry in 5th element? Oh wait. I was thinking of Matthew Perry. My mistake. Was he the annoying guy?
